Dunkirk Aggregation Put Up The Best Article of Ball Seen in This Vicinity in a Long While Score. (By Tort.) DUNKIRK 6; RICHMOND 0. The Tribe of Jessup received its first polishing on its own preserves Friday afternoon and to add to the gloom the Dunkirk outfit, which eonducted the polishing, attached the calcimine bucket to our athletes and chased them from the lot. The cross-eyed black cat, believed to be inhabiting Athletic park, again put in its appearance Friday, as a re suit Roy Schattel, performer at Pike's Peak, left field, was added to the hospital list. The arnica squad con sists of Jessup, Cameron, Meredith Justice and Schattel. In practice a few minutes before the game was called. Hoy started after a high one near the ropes. He caught the ball, fell off the Peak, looped the loop and came up with the ball and a broken collar bone. Roy tossed the Spalding to the infield then trotted in to the bench und applied for admission to the Cripple society. Game Was Fast One. The game was a fast one and the Dunkirk aggregation put up the best article of ball seen in this vicinity for some time. They had the ginger jar on tap at all times and the Cripples never had a real good look in. Hay, the underhand wonder." served slants for the visitors and the locals only harvested five singles off his delivery. "With men on bases he was invincible and was ably assisted by the fast fielding of his pals. Two sharp double plays, in which Carmichael, the right fielder played a star role, cut the cripples down the only two occasions they had any chance to score. Fleming In the Box. Fleming, who was signed to fill Durham's shoes in left field, was in the box for the Ideals owing to the tact that Horn and Rodenbach were used up In the Portland series. Fleming formerly twirled for the Evansville Central league team. He pitched a steady if not brilliant game for the locals and four of the twelve hits perpetrated on him could have been prevented by sharp fielding. J. Cameron was back at first base and he played a bang up game despite the Sact that his bad prop proved an incumbrance. Jim ate fifteen chances and cracked out a nice hit. Little Gov" Mensler was at short for the locals and his piay was the fielding feature of the game. The little fellow accepted eight out of nine chances, two of them being brilliant stops.

S. W. Traum, pastor of the Christian church, and the Rev. S. R. Lyons, pastor of Reid Memorial church of this city. Both men were at their best and made a decided impression. The Rev. Traum took for his topic "The Sunday School as an Educational Institution." He showed how the Sunday school served as an admiral corrective to some things over-emphasized by the day school, while it gave some things to the day school. The Sunday school, he said, has the finest psychological basis and operates at the finest period of life, and with the finest purpose. Dr. Lyons spoke of the Sunday school from the view point of an evangelizing agency. He showed how it taught the truth and at the proper period of life, with the direct result that it supplied the church with the greatest proportion of membership. More than sixty people took advantage of the C, C. & L. passenger rate to Economy Friday night and had the weather been more auspicious a larger delegation probably, would have gone. The next convention will be held at Fountain City in 19QS, on corresponding dates. , SUPT. W. A. JESSUP COMES TO EARLHAM He Will Aid in the Summer School Work. (Westfield, Ind., News.) Supt. W. A.

ROUTINE OF COLLEGE LIFE IS RELIEVED

Boys in the Dormitory Have Fun at Expense of Governor and His Brother. LATTER WAS "RUBBED." THE GOVERNOR DOES NOT REGARD THE AFFAIR IN A SERIOUS LIGHT AND MAKES DENIAL OF SOME OF THE REPORTS. A number of the students at Earlham college diverted from the path of discipline Friday night and made things decidedly unpleasant for the governor, Albert Andrew, and his brother, Ernest, the latter being "rubbed" In his room. The hilarious romp of the students took several forms, including "sassing" the governor, rolling a barrel down the hall and against his door, cutting the asparagus bed with a lawn mower and making plenty of noise. All these things the students implicated say occurred; some of them Governor Andrew says are in the nature of news to him. According to the students Governor Andrew has been using "gum shoe" tactics and has been acting the part of a spy. They say that he has gone to pool rooms, cigar stores and saloons in the hope of finding Earlham students there. They declare he used the back doors on his hunt. Governor Andrew says he did visit these places and by virtue of his office had a right to. Whatever may have been the causes leading up to Friday night's disorder at the college, the whole affair was aimed at the governor. This the boys taking part in it declare was their only reason. But two weeks of school remain at Earlham, but the boys say that they could not longer resist the itching to show the governor how they felt about his manner of discipline. At different times ; during the school year, Governor Andrew has been "soused" by the spilling of a water bucket attached to a bell rope which he rings daily and has tripped, over a wim? stretched in. his hallway. . Friday night, however, the disgruntled students went further. Gathered on Third Floor. The disorder began early in the evening when a number of students gathered on the third floor and indulged in a series of gymnastics entirely out (Continued on Page Two.)
